Overview of eTOD
• Obstacle: All fixed and mobile
objects that are located on an
area intended for the surface
movement of aircraft or that
extend above a defined surface
intended to protect aircraft in
flight.
• Data is defined by four coverage
areas around any airport, and
stored in a geodatabase with
ICAO-defined attributes for the
obstacle and terrain feature
classes.
eTOD feature class
• AIS data model schema accommodates data to meet the
eTOD requirements
• The model includes four feature classes•
•
•
•
Point Obstacle,
Line Obstacle,
Polygonal Obstacle,
Obstacle Area.
• Rules: ensure that participating authorities capture and
manage obstacle and terrain data necessary for aviation
maps and charts, as required by ICAO.
• Metadata: information on data including the source, data
accuracy, date of acquisition among others.
